New wheels at last

[tvrbob]

TVR upgrade fitted at last. I have both anthracite and silver wheels and I'm still struggling to decide which looks best on a green car.

Just washed and the rain started. More photos when there's a dry spell.



No the tyre isn't going down, it's parked on a lump in the concrete.

Bob car looks great, a million dollars I bet the brakes are a great improvment.

Looks great Bob, wouldnt mind some nice big 19s for mine will have to have a chat at Shaftos about sourceing them.

They look great How much if you dont mind me asking?

Would love some on my Yellow Beast, was going to ask APACHE if he wanted to swap his before selling but forgot

Is it me or are the rear tyres a different profile to the fronts?

did you retain the difference in wheel size front > rear? if not this could be the reason for the weird profiles (if they are)

Not a big fan of dark wheels on dark colour car realy, unless they have polished rim to break up the black, black, black..... there was a guy with a black Cerby with speed 8 decals and huge 'Dare' wheels fitted that had polished rims and that looked awsome, think it might have been 'Christof' not sure.

Like the brakes mind, had them fitted to my Chim, best performance money spent IMO

Just as well we dont all like the same thing, pretty booooring otherwise.

Looks superb Bob, the antracite really brings out the shine in your paint! Love it!

Smoked indicators would finish it off!

Kit was £1,599+vat and bloody hard to negotiate out of TVR Engineering. They still have a real problem with over stock of wheels so it's just a case of helping them to help themselves.

Fronts and backs are 16" with 225/50 front and 245/45 rear. That effectively leaves the overall diameter the same on both.

I haven't been able to try these brakes properly yet. I need to bed them in, scrub the tyres in and wait for dry roads. That said, even with gentle braking, the feel of what's really there waiting to be unleashed is quite exciting.

Now there's an idea.

BB I tried that but I don't think he was interested, so I have just bought a Gallio Fly 450 Chimaera with black RL-7's on it and I must say it looks the bollocks
